[Q] what is the best ROM for X8 available now?

I'm lost in choosing a ROM for my new phone ,I wanna know what is the best and most completed ROM for X8

hy, i think, if you wanna replace the stock rom, choose racht's latest rom. For me, jerelpea's rom reboots after locking the screen every minunte, while, in use it doesnt.

i searched for racht's latest ROM it is 2.3.3 but i think it is not stable yet ,any other ideas

im using miniCM - RC1 and everything works perfect for me, so i'm satisfied

none of these roms are fully stable, if we are lucky the new libaudio will fix the most of the bugs. I usually use skype, and it doesnt work on any of these roms, so i wait for the fix.

+1 me too.

No way libaudio will fix reboot issues. They are totally unrelated. A custom kernel will though

sorry then. i read it in racht's thread, but it looks like libaudio is just causes skype crashes.

i think 2.2 ROM based is the most stable for daily use. i've installed the latest ROM for 2.3.3 and i restore back my 2.1 because lots of bug. too many reboots. the most stable ROM for me is :
Floyo 0.15
MiniCM for X8

thanks for replying guys , I have installed Floyo-0.15 and it was perfect but I found that it doesn't support Arabic keyboard ,
anyone have a solution for this problem before trying MiniCM or restoring to the 2.1 stock ROM ????

floyo n minicm are the best so far.
right now I'm on floyo with mod on system/app.
usually I try cm7 2.3 racht n jerpelea Saturday to Monday.

i'm not gonna need it this time actually cause i'm using cm7 6.4.2 by mik at the moment..

Ohh the only reason why I'm still sticking with 2.2 is because the 2.3 is not really stable yet so I'm kinda worried abt that. How's the beta 6.4.2 going?

it works great for me..it's stable at 748 clock but still when you really into saving your battery, i won't suggest this much cause it still drains faster than the froyo and bluetooth calls still doesn't work..well those were just my main concern with it as of the moment..though there's more to love other than the battery so it's all good for me..

Yep I'm really in to saving battery so that's my main issue

Can you post pictures of the theme?

Hi there I can't, for some reasion reboot into recovery with CW from rom manager! I have installed roms on three different phones, with no problems! But I have ruined 3 optimus v's trying to do the same Any advice?

may be a dumb questions, but can another ROM be flashed over the updated GB ROM? for instance, if i flashed the GB ROM, can I flash MikShift over it? or will that just take me back to 2.2 with MikShift?

It will take you back to Froyo 2.2.
Mikshift is a 2.2 Sense based rom.
And This is 2.3.3 Gingerbread

Dumb question: Why not ask this in the thread dedicated to the very same topic where all the people who are actually using it are idling?

To install the 3.0 Lockscreen you need to be on MikShifted G (http://www.themikmik.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=178&t=940)
After you are on that rom and have it all set up how you like it, have Titanium Backup installed and then follow the instructions on this post (from me) (http://www.themikmik.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=11143#p11143)
Thank you aamikam for making this awesome rom....im running it now....went rite from MikShift to this one

great
It works wonderful
I love it so much

You can set up the Sense 3.0 Lockscren on just the initial leak as I have.

NM...figured it out

Rom of the week

Hey Buzzers. Today i´d like to start a new concept, its called
"Rom of the week", and it is pretty simple.
I love trying out new roms, and i´m sure you do to. So i´ll test some roms, and then every week i´ll be awarding the best rom the title as Rom of the week.
But you guys, are also allowed to come with your suggestions and discuss which rom is best.
//PetDroid

My favorite rom of this week is..
RemPuzzlerom. This is mainly because of its awesome features, including the new "Beats audio" thing, the fastness. Everything is just so fast and i just love Sense!.
This was a short post, but thats just my opinion. What do you think?

This is a great thread started on my opinion, i guess you will state issues and make comparisons through tested roms. Unfortunately, i don't have time doing this lately to do so, that's a reason i find it nice.

CM7.2 Build 16, not so smooth but extremely customizable. I love it

Cyanogenmod
Yup, i also really like CM7. Just dont know why, like sense better

Grate idea . Will save us a lot of time searching for roms and updates.
Can u also provide links to the rom of the week please .
Then if I may cm9 buzz kang rc0 (erwinp and Arco ) I know the rom still have some bugs but it should be listed in my opinion just for the fact that we were told our wildfire not good enough to run ics . This is my daly rom .

Dont get me wrong, but, this thread is useless, there are several other threads like this, such as: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485583
Basically, youre doing the same thing. You could, though, comment on roms in that thread to reduce number of threads on this subforum as its getting bloated with useless threads and we, wildfire veterans, dont like it, just like others who come here to search for useful info.

I've been a fan of CyanogenMod, so for now is CM7.2 RC1.
I tested some of the ICS Roms, but without the camera working, I'll keep with GB instead.
Nice thead!

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to be asking for help, but, did you wipe (using CWM) before flashing the new ROM? That might be the issue here.
Also, back on topic, I'm another vote for Erwin's awesome CM9 builds, if you don't mind the roughness of it.

Missing Flash_Image

Guys i've flashed SFM 3.0 hero, good rom but the wifi doesn't works so i want come back to stock. the big problem is that's my sister's phone and this rom has deleted the recovery and now i don't manage to reinstall it. it says flash_image not found. i even tried with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253 at the step missing flash image, but every thing i do it get reveals useless. here's a screenshot of prompt adb: http://imageshack.us/f/338/immaginevi.png/

Guys please help me, it's important!
more details:
i've started with the stock 2.1 and rooted with universal androot and flashed SFM 3.0 with AmonRA recovery.
now if i try open the recovery it's stuck on the bootlogo. i tried with fastboot, adb, the official RUU but it says that my phone's firmware is wrong.

update: now doesn't stuck on the boot logo, but it boots normally without a recovery.
it's rooted on the SFM 3.0 rom and give the "flash_image not found" error

first things first. i have no idea how to get back to stock using the official RUU
however i do have a few alternatives you could try just in case you don't find the answer your looking for
now you say you flashed sfm 3.0. a similar rom to this would be Wildheroc ROSE V5. its exactly the same as sfm 3.0 but its more stable. it can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316886 also you could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24343144&postcount=500 which is a themed version of ROSE V5 created by slobo2712.
if your looking for a stock rom then i highly recomend Heroine ++ which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295991 this rom is seriously fast. its basically the same as stock with a few minor adjustments here and there
there are other roms which remove sense from your phone that i could recommend but if your looking to keep sense on your phone then those two roms are the ones I'd highly recommend
i know this doesn't exactly answer your question of how to flash the official RUU from HTC but as i said previously in the post i simply don't know. these are just a few options you could try if you don't find your answer.

if i can't access the recovery how can flash another rom??

Ahhh ok must have missed that bit
Can you still use the phone normally???? If so maybe try installing Rom manager from the market and then flashing the recovery from there
Could be worth a try

i managed it with an official RUU, don't remember wich. now i've another problem. from 2.1 stock i've flashed Elelinux gingerbread ROM, but 3D games like dead runner wich worked on stock rom on this one don't work. maybe the kernel? i still have the stock one.

Do you DEFINITELY still have the stock kernal? The reason I ask is because Elelinux roms usually come with flykernal13.
Sometimes re flashing a rom can solve issues. So I'd say go into your recovery and wipe data 2 or 3 times just to make sure because 1 wipe sometimes doesn't get rid of everything. Then wipe cache and dalvik cache and then re flash the rom
If that doesn't work then you could try flashing the Las Venturas kernal but I'd doubt it would be a kernal problem

You're wright it isn't a kernel problem but i did all kind Of wipes but 3D games and applications don't work

Hmmm if they worked on stock then I'd expect a newer version of Android to be ok as well . I'm not a big gamer on my phone so can't say I've ever experienced these problems
What games and applications don't work? And do they not work completely? Or just not as good as on stock?

I've never touched the bootloader so I'm afraid I can't really answer that question
As for best Rom. There isn't really an overall best rom. It all just comes down to personal preference and what your looking for in a Rom but there are roms that are a step ahead in each android version.
If stock 2.1 is what your looking for then you can't beat heroine ++ if you want sense or you could try VE 6.2 if you want AOSP
As for 2.2 froyo you could try FloYo. I used it once and it seemed ok
And as for 2.3 gingerbread. If your after a 2.3 sense Rom then wildheroc is by far the best one around at the moment. As for 2.3 AOSP roms I'd highly recommend decked_x or any of the elelinux roms or even the two latest cyanogenmod nightlies
